How computationally expensive are various fundamental floating point mathematical operations? Here’s a quick and dirty benchmark, which, although surely quite naive, seems to capture the rough relative cost of a few operations.
Motivation
This quarter I am taking a course on numerical linear algebra. Naturally, we are covering topics like the fundamentals of floating point arithmetic, numerical stability, matrix decompositions, and algorithm analysis.
In a few of our assignments, we are tasked with [...]
